Glossary
A plain-language definition from the Curriculo hiring glossary.
A talent pipeline is a ready list of good people you could hire later, kept warm before you even have a job open. Think of it like a pantry: you stock it ahead of time so that when you are hungry, dinner is already half-made.
A talent pipeline is a pool of potential candidates you have identified and stay in touch with, so you can move quickly when a role opens. Instead of starting your search from zero every time, you begin with a shortlist of people who already know you.
